Passengers traveling between Cuenca and Quito will see flight schedule changes this Saturday, May 9, because of temporary runway maintenance at Mariscal Sucre International Airport in Quito.
Airport operations will be suspended from 2:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. while preventive maintenance work is carried out on the runway. During that period, no takeoffs or landings will be allowed, although the passenger terminal will remain open.
